In front of the Longevity Pavilion, it was completely empty.

Su Mo looked around, unfazed, and casually found a place in the pavilion to sit down.

He glanced again at Zhen Xiaoxiao, who was nibbling slowly on a pork leg.

"Haven’t finished eating yet?"

Su Mo was somewhat surprised.

Given Zhen Xiaoxiao’s ability to eat, this pork leg should have been gone before leaving the city.

Zhen Xiaoxiao smacked her lips:

"Didn’t bring any other snacks, once it’s finished, it’s gone, gotta eat sparingly."

"..."

Su Mo thought she made a good point:

"Still sleeping on the ground lately?"

"Uh-huh."

Zhen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Can’t fall asleep on a bed."

In the past, Zhen Xiaoxiao was too fat and heavy, which was quite unreasonable.

Lying in bed would collapse it, so the girl got into the habit of sleeping on the ground.

Now that she’s slimmed down, she can sleep in a bed.

But lying on the bed, she can’t fall asleep.

Tossing and turning all night, feeling listless, and even affecting her appetite the next day.

Obviously, this is not a solution.

So Zhen Xiaoxiao simply went back to sleeping on the ground.

And indeed, once she lay on the ground, she fell asleep in no time.

Su Mo didn’t know how to correct this habit of hers.

Some people are attached to their bed, she’s attached to the ground.

He gave her a few words of advice, seeing Zhen Xiaoxiao nodding like a chick pecking at rice, unsure of how much had sunk in.

Just like this, they chatted sporadically.

A little over an hour later, this Young Master Xing still had not arrived.

Meanwhile, Zhen Xiaoxiao’s pork leg was gnawed down to the bone.

Now she was holding the big bone, biting into it piece by piece.

Her Iron Teeth and Copper Teeth, though the bone was hard, it was clearly no match for her rows of steel teeth.

She bit it off in sections, chewing it into bits, swallowing it all down.

As Zhen Xiaoxiao finished that big bone, the Sun was already high in the sky.

Only then did footsteps sound from afar.

Looking up, it was an old man and a young one approaching.

Su Mo’s gaze swept over the pair, feeling that neither looked like Young Master Xing.

The two were soon in front of them.

Then the young man spoke:

"Grandpa, there’s a pavilion here."

"What’s it called?"

The old man asked and raised his head to look, but his eyes had no focus; he was blind.

"Longevity Pavilion."

The young man explained to the old man.

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes lit up:

"What a nice name, auspicious indeed.

"Let’s go, dear grandson, take me inside to sit."

"Okay."

The young man said this, then looked at Su Mo and Zhen Xiaoxiao, speaking coldly:

"My grandpa wants to sit in the pavilion for a while. Why don’t you hurry up and get out?"

Zhen Xiaoxiao was busy licking the oil off her fingers, paying no attention to his words.

Su Mo merely smiled:

"This Longevity Pavilion belongs to no one, built here for the convenience of passersby.

"The old man is welcome to come in and sit.

"But driving others away is unreasonable."

"Well said, well said."

The blind old man nodded repeatedly, patting the young man’s hand:

"The man isn’t wrong, this place isn’t built by us. We can sit, but what reason do we have for driving others away?

"Kids just don’t understand things."

The old man shook his head and pulled the young man aside.

The young man snorted, glaring fiercely at Su Mo and Zhen Xiaoxiao, before bringing the old man into the pavilion.

With the young man’s help, the old man sat down, and the young man rummaged through his belongings for food and water.

Seeing him busy, the blind old man clasped his fists to the air:

"Young brother, my grandson was spoiled by me, hope you won’t take offense."

Su Mo tilted his head to give the old man a glance and smiled slightly:

"You’re too kind, old man."

The old man, hearing this, turned to face Su Mo with a chuckle:

"Young brother, where are you from?"

"Homeless and drifting, I roam the four seas."

Su Mo chuckled softly:

"And where does the old man hail from?"

"Oh, I come from afar, been on the road for a long time.

"Initially wasn’t planning to come to Baisui City now.

"But recently heard some things, so I decided to make a detour to Baisui City."

The old man seemed to have a lot to say, rambling on endlessly once he started.

But his words, looping around, lacked a main point.

Neither did he say where he was from nor where he was heading.

After talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, so the young man quickly handed over the Water Bag.

He fumbled around for a moment, then opened the cap, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"Ah, getting old, just like to talk, the young brother must be annoyed by now."

"I certainly wouldn’t dare."

Su Mo gently shook his head, just about to speak when he felt a pair of eyes staring intently at him.

Looking over, it was the young man.

The young man’s eyes seemed full of words to say, a bit anxious, a bit angry, sometimes glaring fiercely at Su Mo, when seeing no fear on Su Mo’s face, they turned to a desperate plea.

Su Mo found his expression amusing, couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Which only provoked the young man to glare even more fiercely.

In the middle of their conversation, the old man suddenly seemed to hear something, turning abruptly to look into the distance.

Su Mo took a look at the old man, deep in thought.

The young man, seeing where the old man was looking, instinctively looked as well.
